5:49pm: Nets shooting guard Alan Anderson plans to opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent this summer, a league source tells Chris Haynes of CSNNW.com (Twitter link). The five-year veteran signed a two-year deal worth $2.01MM last summer and would have earned $1.06MM in 2014/15 had he opted in.

In 78 games played last year, Anderson averaged 7,2 PPG and 2.2 RPG in 22.7 MPG while shooting 40.0% from the field overall and 33.9% from beyond the arc.
